Songs Of Disconnection is a musical performance about the meaning of unintelligibility, or the paradoxical relationship between the artist who seeks to share and the audience confronted with the failure of their communication. The abstraction of the libretto and songs, which Needcompany's Maarten Seghers describes as an "anarchic deflagration", sets up the conditions on stage for this tragic bond on which a being-together is founded, from the outset posited as paradoxical and absurd. Everything could be, yet nothing is. 

Accompanied by Aya Suzuki (percussion), Simon Lenski (cello), George van Dam (violin) and Michael Schmid (flute), Seghers organizes the shift from music to sound, then from sound to matter, gradually freeing himself from the understanding or interpretation of musical writing to achieve a physicality full of contrasts, produced at the heart of a dialectic of rhythms and tonalities. The experiment thus tests the limits of the artist's commitment, whether to voice, music or interpretation.
